Which is better? I'm looking for the 905r but can't seem to find one that has the shaft in it that i want, but in looking on titleist's website and Erik's review, they seem to be the same club, but the 907d2 is more forgiving. Give me the pros and cons of both, thanks!

What's in the bag

Driver: 9.5* 905R w/ Proforce UST V2 (X)
3w: UST Proforce FW stiff 15*
Hybrid: 585H 19* Aldila "by you" xIrons: CG1 3-PW s300 dynamic goldWedges: 53*/58* Putter: Mid SurBall: whatever I feel like buying that day

Everyone I personally know who has used both prefers the 905R. The D2 is widely considered a "flop" (that's the word a Titleist staffer I know used.) For what it's worth, I tried the D2 and didn't care for it. And IMHO, it didn't feel like a more forgiving 905R. But I've never been a Titleist driver guy, so YMMV.

If you prefer the 905R and just can't find the shaft you want, maybe you should consider waiting until the fall when the 909 line is scheduled to come out. Rumor has it than it's a good driver that is based on the 905. The D2 is the 460cc head, while the D3 is the 440cc head. Hope this helps.

I try them both and I pick the 905R. I like more the shape of the 905R and the sound is adictive.

Regards.

I've never tried 905R. The 907D2 I demo-ed few times left no impression on me at all. From other forum than thesandtrap choose 905R over 907D2. Even the cover boy of Titleist, Adam Scott (and many more) went back to 905R although he covers it with D2 headcover.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
